Description Omar Helali 2022-10-13 08:42:27 UTC 
SUMMARY
The new tool for remapping extra mouse buttons is not working. Used it on 5.25.90 and it worked great but stopped working when updated to new stable release. The tool is not detecting the extra button clic on the remap interface. Using Wayland as it is not available on x11.


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Go to settings > Input Devices > Mouse
2. Select the correct device and push the Re-Bind button
3. Click Add Binding then push the extra button to remap

OBSERVED RESULT
Not detecting and mouse events

Can reproduce.
Comment 2 David Redondo 2022-10-15 11:53:29 UTC 
I found two bugs 
1) Deleting a binding doesn't notify KWin so the buttons do not work until a restart of KWin (but setting works fine)
2) A change in Kirigami https://invent.kde.org/frameworks/kirigami/-/commit/11e63f54dd66d0876392aef5b3c35e26b609c228 prevents the kcm from getting the button release (so back button just goes back), I have to see if/how a workaround in the kcm is possible, a few easy things have not worked yet.

Also delete entry with Notify flag

Otherwise KWin will not know of the changes.
This does not fix
because of the second issue that prevents the event capturing but once that is solved, removing and adding a binding for the same button would not work.
